★★★★★Featured review by John Hancock

Great place for children and parents, coffee shop on site, toilets and adequate parking, It is a very nice facility in the heart of Petone handy to public transport and close to the main CBD of Petone, I highly recommend this facility as a very good safe place for children to play, well fenced with a safety gate, well earned 5 stars

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Perfect for families with young children who enjoy messy, sensory play in a secure environment. The fenced playground offers peace of mind for parents while kids explore mud kitchens and non-traditional play equipment. Best visited on sunny days when the coffee cart operates and outdoor play is most enjoyable.

“My daughter spends her time very well there with mud most of the time they a tiny wood house where you can play mud or sand there with a water pump to play as well. A tiny cafe where you can get your own coffee as well.”
